The Child's Bible.

The new publication edited by DIR. Vim
cent of Chatauqua called the Child's Bible
is most excellent work. Whatever brings
the pages OF the sacred volume more readily

ties of Christian accomplishment. 1t is
preaching the Worl' and obeying the
Masters behest of 'suher little children to
come unto Me-" The illustrations in the
new edition are exactly what are needed.
The tyi ography is excellent. Aud the gen.
eral attractiveness of the whole work is such
as will recommend the volume to all parents
Mrs. NJ. B. MacMartin is presenting "The
Child's Bible" to our people and her retiring
disposition is in such marked contrast to the
average canvasser that she can be most cor

We Are Glad to Hear 1t.

the Hon. George Bates intends delivering an
address before the Young Mems Democratic
Club upon the subject OF Constitutional Re
form ls one that We learn Of with pleasure.
All, even those who do not happen to be OF
Democratic bias will listen to Mr.. Bates with
attention. That gentleman has given the
subject studious thought. Some years ago he
offered certain reform measures to the Legis.
Iature. They contained almost a rescript Of
what the citizens of Delaware are now clam.
oring for. We do MT doubt but that We
shall hear from Mr.. Bates sentiments indi.
cative OF the progressive needs of our State
neither too closely restricted in view of the
advanced and advancing requirements Of to
day nor 80 radically extreme on the otbel
hand as to loosen the ,titical bends thai
have hitherto guided the ship OF State to saf,

a brother of Dealy's came to him and said
John, believe you boys burned Anthony Is
house." This scared him, and he fled as an
lucendiary.
Up to this time no murder troubled his
mind. After wandering he arrived neal
Chicago. In the meanwhile he had read
very carefully the accounts Of the finding Of

to me and said. "Well killed something,

THE FEELING IN NoRRlsrowN.

Tnere are many people in Norristown who
now believe that John NJ. Wilson stoned no
crime and that the Wissahckou mystery is
still as tangled as the cords of the rope that
hanged him. His case, since the doctors
have spoken, is on every tongue, and there
are people to be found who are all at sea as
to whsther Stahl lives and Dealy was muir
dered, or whether Stahl was murdered and
Desly wandered.
One OF the men, who was close to JohnWil-
son " hen the moments marked the coming
of late he seemed too anxious for, was the
Rev. Mr.. Randall, his spiritual adviser, who
gladly welcomed the Rev. Mr.. Leopold tc
pray with him for the condemned mans
soul. Mr.. Randall thought Wilson laboreG
under an halluciDaton. He was sought yes

WILD STRAWBERRIES.

A little boy, one summers day,
Barefooted paced the broad highway,
The light hair through an ample flaw
Projected from his hat of straw.
His clothes were poor, but what cared he"
With merry heart and footsteps free,
He fastened with the joy and pride
Interpretations maguiticd.
The weeds and grass he closely eyed
Along the fences, either side
Straw berries red he now perceives
And runs and grasps--two scarlet leaves
But he had seen the blossoms white
When driving home the COWS one night,
And now he argued, SIT is clear
There must be berries somewhere here"
He laughs, at length, for his pursuit
Gains three small vines of hait-ripe fruit.
He holds them up, his sparkling eyes
Like telescope lenses rise,-
Q, mammoth clusters rich and bright,
That tempt his growing appetite.
He smells them, counts them, and his holc
Is firm as if the stems were gold.
He hunts for more, aud crimson lines,
Drawn by the sharp dewberry-vines
Are round his tender feet displayed;
But scarce he feels the wounds thus made
So eagerly he searches round
Till no more berries can be found,
And soon he turns to homeward run
Not tasting cen the smallest one.
To mother now he comes in haste
Who at a glance foreknows their taste
He gave them all to her, nor thought
How trivial was the gift he'd brought,
But when she saw his wounded feet
The berries ali seemed large and sweet,
And with her boy she read that night
The lesson of the widows Mite"
